Answer:

HI.

Explanation:

  • Thomas Graham found that, at a constant  temperature and pressure the rates of effusion  of various gases are inversely proportional to  the square root of their masses.

Rate of effusion ∝ 1/√molar mass.

  • <em>(Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).</em>
  • An unknown gas effuses at one half the speed of that of oxygen.

∵ Rate of effusion of unknown gas = 1/2 (Rate of effusion of O₂)

∴ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = 2.

Molar mass of O₂ = 32.0 g/mol.

∵ (Rate of effusion of O₂) / (Rate of effusion of unknown gas) = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / (√molar mass of O₂).

∴  2.0 = (√molar mass of unknown gas) / √32.0.

( √molar mass of unknown gas) = 2.0 x √32.0

By squaring the both sides:

∴ molar mass of unknown gas = (2.0 x √32.0)² = 128 g/mol.

∴ The molar mass of sulfur dioxide = 80.91 g/mol and the molar mass of HI = 127.911 g/mol.

<em>So, the unknown gas is HI.</em>

CalcuLate the velocity of an electron ejected if 300.0 mm of light is applied to the surface. A wavelength of 795 nm has suffici
worty [1.4K]
The equation relating velocity and wavelength is written below:

v = λf
where λ is the wavelength in m while f is frequency in 1/s.

Let's determine first the frequency from the speed of light:
c = distance/time, where c is the speed of light equal to 3×10⁸ m/s
3×10⁸ m/s = (300 mm)(1 m/1000 mm)/ time
time = 1×10⁻⁹ seconds
Since f = 1/t,
f = 1/1×10⁻⁹ seconds = 10⁹ s⁻¹

Thus,
v = (795×10⁻⁹ m)(10⁹ s⁻¹)
v = 795 m/s
